Would you return an NFL kickoff for $100?

I'd do it for free. That would be a hell of a rush. My only worry would be cleanly fielding it so I'm not a sitting duck.

Conversely, I wouldn't return a punt for $1,000

What's the difference? Either way you're gonna get creamed. With a kickoff though you would be running at almost full speed. You hit the seam and POP!!!
 
$100? That wouldn't even cover a tenth of my potential medical bills

The difference is that on the kickoff I have a fighting chance as long as I catch it. Odds are I can get out of bounds or down before someone tees off on me.

With the hang time of a punt, my odds of doing either of those things is close to zero. Punt returners get crushed right as they catch the ball.
 
I would easily do it even for free.
It would be an awesome experience whether I get smacked up or not.
